Hi! I just signed up and am interested in your project. Let me know if there is interest in 3D files. I can make all of the cut sheets as Solidworks files (2010) preferred, or any other 3D format SW supports. I can also create files as Pro-Engineer files up to Wildfire 4 (Soon WF 5).

The PDF file can be imported in an open-source line drawing software called Inkscape (Windows/Mac/Linux). From there it can be edited and saved as SVG which is a very common standard format that almost any software can use.

I noticed that in the DXF file the lines are all exploded and not closed polylines. This could possibly slow down some machines if they don’t complete whole lines in a continuous fashion but rather jump around from one partial line segment to another. I have re-built the polylines in a .DWG / or .DXF file if it is desireable to anyone.

Sorry about the late response… I have been busy converting the .DXF files to Solidworks files.

Pro-E==WF

WF (Wildfire) is the newest iteration of the Pro-Engineer CAD/CAM/CAE software suite, similar to Solidworks, Inventor, etc…

My preferred format is Solidworks 2009 or 2010.

BTW, I have all of the components designed in Solidworks 2009 now, and am creating the sub-assemblies. I have, by default, made all of the components .25″ thick, but after reading the notes about the issues relating to the thicknesses of Masonite available, I may refine this to .240″(exactly the same size as the width of the slot).

I can supply now all of the components shown in the .DXF files as native

Solidworks files, but they are only ‘dumb’ components tat use the .DXF files as sketch patterns. There is no ‘associativity’ defined in the part files.

I can turn over the native files at any time you wish (or to anyone who wishes…)

We’ve added a section titled Community Sandbox to the downloads page for community-submitted content. If you’ve been tweaking a file (converting from DXF to a different format, for example) or making improvements that you feel others could benefit from, please send it to us and we’ll post it for all to share.
